Island Morning
with Mitch & Matt
What's on Next
It's still winter but track and field enthusiasts are already dreaming of the biggest track and field event to come to PEI in decades.
We'll hear more about the 2012 Canadian Legion Track and Field Meet.
According to a new study, PEI's equalization dollars should be cut because the province is getting too much federal money compared with other provinces. We'll chat with a Toronto think tank about that idea.
And we'll look back on all of the events from Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada Monday on 96.1 FM.
